Chapter 565: Chapter 564 Cang Mountain Forest

Doot, Doot, Doot

Three loud notification tones rang out, capturing the attention of everyone present as the rotating light circle on the large screen at the center of the venue came to a halt.

"Match mode ’5v5 Reality Combat’, arena ’Cang Mountain Forest’, the maximum number of participants per side is five, each carrying one pet creature. Contestants, please be prepared."

"Switching arena, Cang Mountain Forest."

As the voice from the speakers ceased, a slight tremor could be felt throughout the central venue.

With the competition field in the very center slowly parting to both sides, the sound of mechanical parts colliding became clearer, and the ’Cang Mountain Forest’ arena gradually rose from below the ground.

The ’Cang Mountain Forest’ arena was the size of several football fields, with a miniaturized volcano in the center, surrounded by tall, straight water cypress trees, tightly encircling the volcano.

The outermost part of the forest was a stretch of lush grass, with a small river extending from the forest and slowly flowing across the grassland. The grass undulated like waves under the blowers surrounding the arena, giving the place a serene beauty, more suited for an outdoor picnic than for battle.

The appearance of the arena elicited waves of admiration from the audience.

"Contestants, enter the arena. The match officially begins."

With the emergence of ’Cang Mountain Forest’, the vision of both sides was completely obscured. Shao Zifeng nodded to his teammates and took the lead, stepping into the soft grassland.

This kind of large-scale reality combat arena fundamentally simulates the features of wilderness combat. It comprehensively tests the contestants’ wilderness survival skills, pet cooperation, as well as individual strength since the terrain of the arena is unique, allowing for any means to achieve victory.

Although such a competition does not allow for malicious killing, reality combat still has the highest mortality rate of all competitions. Given the current circumstances, they needed to be even more careful and cautious.

Hu Shiwu romped about on the grass, his excitement clearly overflowing, as he ran to Shao Zifeng’s side, "Captain, Captain, how are we going to fight?"

Shao Zifeng, looking towards the volcano in the distant forest, said to the people around him, "Don’t summon your pet creatures just yet. Follow my commands from now on."

"Casar, summon the Nightmare Kite to scout the forest, and there’s no need to deliberately conceal its form."

Casar hesitated for a moment and finally, with a touch of disappointment, nodded his head.

The appearance of Narina made him want to use his strongest companion, the Snow Feather Owl, but since Shao Zifeng had said so, he had to comply.

A phantom Space Rift slowly opened, and a mass of black fog flew out. The Nightmare Kite, enshrouded in black smoke, had blood-red eyes sparkling like gemstones within it.

"Kite, scout."

The Nightmare Kite let out a sinister eagle’s screech, circling above the crowd with its smoky tail, then flew toward the water cypress forest not far away.

"The Dàméng federation is a nomadic nation, and their scouting and wilderness combat experiences are both very rich," Shao Zifeng said as he walked. "Moreover, today’s arena is quite suitable for them to showcase their abilities, so we need to make some preparations."

Shao Zifeng thought for a moment, "Hu... Shiwu, have your Sleepy Orchid lay some vines in ambush under the grass at the forest exit."

Hu Shiwu’s spirits lifted, "Alright, Sleepy Orchid, let’s go."

"Beep~"

After seeing Hu Shiwu leave, Shao Zifeng called Xiang Nan over and whispered a few instructions.

The large screen hanging over the competition field broadcasted the movements of both sides in real time.

At this point, the Dàméng school alliance team had already ventured deep into the forest under the guidance of their pet creatures, while Su City University’s team captain, after making some preparations at the start, barely moved from his original position, truly baffling observers.

Inside the live broadcast room, Tan Xin’an said, "Ningshuang, you’re the expert in this area, help everyone interpret what’s happening."

Dong Ningshuang’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, "Batuwends’s intentions are quite clear. They are using Dàméng’s signature pet creatures, the Gale Wolf and Hurricane Falcon. While these pets that are basically standard in their country might not be very strong individually, they do possess systematic training methods and extremely high synergy."

"Take Narina’s Hurricane Falcon, for example; such a creature is highly suitable for scouting the opponent’s target. With its physical advantages, the Hurricane Falcon’s burst of speed is incredibly potent in the plains and forests, making it a natural hunter."

"Having the Hurricane Falcon and pairing it with four Gale Wolves gives them a significant advantage on the ’Cang Mountain Forest’ terrain. As for Su City University..." Dong Ningshuang paused for a moment, "As for Su City University, it seems they have had few opportunities for field battles, so team captain Shao Zifeng has adopted a more conservative strategy."

"This is evident from Captain Shao Zifeng having his team set up vine traps in the bushes. Although it’s a rather crude method, it’s not bad for students."

Though Dong Ningshuang didn’t say it explicitly, her implication was quite clear.

She was not optimistic about Su City University’s performance in this event, which undoubtedly weighed heavily on the hearts of the viewers watching the live broadcast.

In the preparation area room, Yu Xiaoyu and Li Yiren sat cross-legged on the couch, watching the live stream with various snacks piled around them, all of which Yu Xiaoyu had secretly brought in.

"It’s over, it’s over. It looks like our trip to the capital is coming to an end."

After hearing Dong Ningshuang’s commentary in the video, Yu Xiaoyu’s chewing slowed down. She placed the potato chip in her hand on her long legs, counting on her fingers and muttering softly, "I’ve been spending a bit wildly recently. If it ends now, I’ll have to cover any excess expenses out of my own pocket..."

The more Yu Xiaoyu calculated, the colder her heart felt. She slumped onto the couch like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, staring blankly at the ceiling, and murmured to herself, "It’s over... my dowry for the next few years is going to be gone..."

Li Yiren rolled her eyes in silence, opened a pack of preserved plums by herself, and placed one in her mouth, her cheeks puffing in and out.

Although she didn’t know what Shao Zifeng had in mind, from her observations over this period, her team captain was quite remarkable.

Swish swish swish!

Four dark shadows darted through the dim forest, pausing now and then to look back. Several figures were quickly moving behind them.

"Screetch!"

Just then, a loud eagle’s cry echoed through the woods.

"Stop!"

Temuer raised his hand into a fist, and his companions halted steadily at his side.

The four Gale Wolves, with dark bluish-black fur and faint bluish markings between their hair, lay or squatted around, their cold eyes devoid of any emotion.

The sound of flapping wings rose as the Hurricane Falcon nimbly dodged the messy branches of the water cypresses, finally landing steadily on Narina’s outstretched arm.

Temuer turned to Narina: "There’s news."

Narina stroked the Hurricane Falcon’s feathers: "As expected, they’re also searching for us. However, that Pamir Plateau eagle doesn’t seem sharp enough to conquer my steppe ’hen’."

As she spoke, she emphasized the word "hen."

Temuer mumbled a few words, something about being a wimp. The other two teammates looked at the two of them with a smile and didn’t interject.

Temuer paid no mind to the overt and covert struggle between the two: "Do we have a direction now?"

"We do," Narina nodded.

"Then let’s go!"

"Awoo~"

The lead wolf howled and took off running, its long wolf legs carrying it forward. Temuer and the other four exchanged glances and quickly followed.
